Differences marked, verses copied, suggested sets, and your editions remembered

Comparing editions got four tools: the words another edition in the same language changes are marked, a verse or a run of verses copies in every edition, suggested sets open good company in one click, and the editions you read side by side come back.

  • Differences. With two or more editions in the same language side by side, the “Differences” switch beside the chapter title marks the words each one changes from the leftmost of its language. Case and punctuation do not count. Under a verse number, “same” means the editions have the same words there. Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Burmese are compared letter by letter. Greek, Hebrew and Coptic are compared without their accents and points, so a Greek text printed without accents reads as the same text as one printed with them.
  • Copy a verse in every edition. In a comparison, choose a verse number, or hold Shift and choose another to select a run of verses. The bar under them copies the verses in every edition, each with its short name and title, and the link that opens the same editions there. It also opens the verse in the KRV study reader.
  • Suggested sets. The edition dialog starts with editions that read well together. In Korean: the original with the KRV and the WEB, the KRV with the WEB, and literal beside plain English. In English: the original with the WEB, literal and plain, and older and newer English. The original is the Westminster Leningrad Codex for the Old Testament and the Textus Receptus for the New.
  • Your editions remembered. “Bible” in the menu, and the edition library opened without an edition in its address, bring back the editions you last read side by side. A link that names an edition still opens exactly that.

The version label at the bottom of each page now reads “v0.1.0 (commit, date)”.
